Escuela Sammy is a cooperative effort of Carolina Quezada (a Spanish teacher) and one of her former students, Charles Pankow (owner of Hostal de Sammy). They have worked together to create a program that best suits the needs of the type of students the school hopes attract, the many travelers that come through Santiago on their journey through Chile as well as South America. With this in mind they have priced the course to make it available to as many people as possible while as to not hurt their ability to teach the student.
The goal of Escuela Sammy is simple. To provide Spanish instruction to the many travelers of South America that come here with very little or no previous Spanish experience. While we don't promise that you'll leave a course with complete and total knowledge of the language, we will leave you with enough to not have to worry about pulling out your phase book every time you need to ask for something. |

In favor of getting you up and speaking as fast as possible some schools may skip grammar and yet others will spend days teaching the Spanish form of 'to be'. While our class is designed with your travel needs in mind it doesn't do so at the expense of the grammer. It has been created from the ground up by both teacher and student to strike the perfect balance between speaking but also understanding some of the underlying structure of the language. |
